Yes it is! Btw, did ya know that the gov took out a patent , think actually glasko, kline, back in the 60s. But even more recently, pharma is making a new anagesic with guess what, kratom! They only wanted to stop folks from buying legally cuz then why would folks buy the rx? Supposedly the version is in trials and put on fast track to get approved. Its a big deal, cuz no worries about resp distress and addiction, as well as doing good job. Just thought id share. Google it yerselves, kratom and us patents and new rx pain med. Peace out! Its like always, about the money! But, kratom is good option, when sold by good vested vendors.
